YOGA THERAPY
What is yoga therapy?
Yoga therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses the principles and practices of yoga to promote health and well-being on a physical, mental, and emotional level. It involves the application of yogic techniques and philosophy to address individual health concerns and support overall wellness. Yoga therapy incorporates a variety of yoga practices, including physical postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), meditation, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques. These practices are selected and adapted based on the individual's condition. While rooted in traditional yogic wisdom, yoga therapy also integrates current scientific research and evidence. This ensures that the therapeutic interventions are in line with contemporary understanding of health and wellness.
When to consider Yoga therapy
The practices are adapted to accommodate the individual's abilities, making yoga therapy accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels. Overall, the goal of yoga therapy is to empower individuals to take an active role in their health and foster a balanced and harmonious life. Yoga therapy can be applied to a wide range of health conditions, both physical and mental. It is used as a complementary approach to conventional medical treatments and is often sought for issues such as chronic pain, stress-related disorders, anxiety, depression, and various chronic illnesses. This modality can be used in conjunction with occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and other mental health modalities such as psychotherapy.
Yoga therapy is also an exceptional personalized approach to movement in everyday life, and can be beneficial when trying to get back into the things that you love, whether it be relationships, work, or activities.
